For this exhibition, the Dominique Fiat Gallery presents independently the works of Safâa Erruas and Itvan Kebadian.
Safâa is singled out by a radical approach by focusing on monochrome, white. The materials used evoke softness and their treatment symbolizes an extreme violence. The confusion of the forms induces that of the feelings.
Metallic wires, pierced paper, needles are as many soft and sharp materials which oppose and unite to emphasize a powerful and fine purpose at the same time. Safâa makes silent reference to pain.
For his part, Itvan combines cinematic influences (Kurosawa, Ridley Scott) and urban scenes as well as references learned throughout his artistic training (Dürer, Japanese prints, medieval art), all on drawing sheets or on the walls.
After having worked around the phenomenon of "Yellow Vests" he continues in this direction by proposing here works focusing on the rioters.
He keeps this vision of a world without social classes, where the protagonists remain anonymous and clash on territories, symbols of conquest of power.

The gallery
Since 2004, the gallery has been developing all kinds of artistic practices on various supports. Its transdisciplinary approach has allowed the gallery to discover very young talents such as Camille Henrot, the Californian artists Ed Moses and Ed Ruscha, as well as artists from the "Light & Space" movement: Peter Alexander, Laddie John Dill, Fred Eversley and Helen Pasghian.
The interest in the non-Western scene and in particular the MENASA scene led the gallery to exhibit Hicham Berrada and Safâa Erruas very early on.
The gallery affirms the defense of committed artists, its interest for Africa and any subject related to it, by privileging the opening and the dialogue in order to avoid any notion of confinement or ghettoization.
